Default Good mechanic

Had lots of plans to install waterpump and msd optispark last year but my 95 was running so well thought I should not mess with a good thing. Now at 78k perhaps it time for an up date. The old back is not good so I am looking for a good C4 mechanic in the Worcester MA area to do the job. Any information would be a great help. Thank you. Mike t

I live in nearby Marlborough. I have a great local Vette mechanic, but he's busy doing a 383 stroker for me, so you can't have him.

Actually, he's on the forum as SloRVette and you could give him an IM.

By the way, I'm also a Mike T - hence my forum name.

Go to cartalk.com - click n clack the NPR car guys. They got a link for reputable mechanics in any particular area; go to mechan-x files, or somethin' like that on their site.

I am not far away in Westfield MA and I am in the middle of changing the waterpump, the opti, plugs, wires and hoses, so in about a week, I will be qualified to help out if you want to tackle the job yourself.
